Project: A corpus-based study of the Lusoga grammar

project duration

01-OCT-10 – 30-SEP-12

abstract

The grammar of Lusoga is being described scientiffically, which will server as a basis for the compilation of pedagogical grammars for the Ugandan education system. Rather than using staged communicative events or elicitation, all grammatical facts will be derived from an electronic corpus of naturally-occurring language. This methodology is a first for a language of limited diffusion.
